Sunny and hot yesterday

We didn't quite make the record books yesterday. The official airport weather station reported a high of 80F. The record is 81F set in 1989.

The north side of the island, where we live, consistently seems to be 5 to 10 degrees lower than what the station reports.

In any case, it was definitely hot -- at least around here. People were out and about, commenting about how summer had finally arrived. It looks like summer will stay around at least for much of today (though a little cooler -- about 70) before going away for another few days. After all, we do live in a rain forest...

Update 11:40 a.m.: My prediction was wrong (and likewise the official weather forecast). Rain is now starting to come down... Ahh... the rainforest.
